MILLINERY.
Hunter * Brown Take the
Lead,

While this new firm have been en-
larging every department OF their bus.
mess and buying goods in largely in
creased quantities the millinery and
fancy goods department has not been
forgotten. On the contrary it has
received the special attention OF Mr..
j. w. Hunter while east purchasing
his fall stock. The present stock in
this department is larger than it ever
has been and has been selected with 4
view to meet the wants Of this pro-
gressive city. In fact all the latest
New York styles may be found in this
emporium of fashion. Besides select
ing his stock carefully, he has been
equally careful in securing ladies to
take charge of this branch that are
experienced dressmakers and milf
ners. The lady in charge of the
dressmaking department is Miss
Carrie McCauley, of Baltimore. Miss
McCauley is graduate OF Madame
Mallison's Eclectic Cutting School, OF
Baltimore, where the eclectic lady
tailor system is taught. BY this sys
tenn dress making is reduced to a
science, and it is said by experienced
dress makers to be the best system
known. Misfits are almost impossible
Miss Boice, formerly of New York, has
also been engaged, and while she will
assist Miss McCauley in dressmaking
she will have charge OF the Millinery
department. If you want perfect fl

A Delightful Entertainment.

1t is seldom the young people Of
Johnson City have the pleasure Of
participating in a more delightful en-
tertainment than that enjoyed last
Tuesday night at the Piedmont House.
The hotel itself, since it has been over
hauled, is gem of beauty, but it new
er looked half so pretty as it did on
this occasion when its numerous
chandeliers shed their scintillating
rays upon the loneliness and manli.
ness OF johnson City. Fifteen couples
of the beauty and gallantry OF Johnson
City were in attendance and never
did fair woman look lovelier nor man
more manly. The crowd gathered at
eight, and after an hour spent in pleas
ant chit-chat, supper was announced
and all repaired to the dining hall
where an hour was spent in dealing
with the edibles that had been prepar.
ed for the entertainment of the body.
After supper, two hours were spent in
various pleasures and at midnight the
couples separated for their different
homes and were lighted on their way
by a bright November moon. Alto
gether it was a grand success as a
pleasure-giving entertainment, but it
could not be otherwise with J. F.
Crumley at the head of it. 1t is char
acteristic of this young man to make
a success OF anything Of the kind he
undertakes. McLeod's and McMil-

Jobe's Opera House was unsafe and in
consequence the Florence Eimore
troop did not get crowd sufficient to
play to the second night they were
here 1t is not known who started
this report nor why it was started, but
it is false. 1t is true the front wall
has sprung perhaps an inch but that
happened when the building was
first built and has become no worse
since, Ithas been pronounced by ar
chitects, and men who ought to know,
to be perfectly safe and since it held
such crowds as attended the Price and
Butler speaking, and similar free en-,
tertainments, there should be nc
doubt about its safety. Mr.. Jobe has
been very kind to the public and has
always let it have the use of his OPP
era House free, and it is hardly right
to circulate such a report without q
foundation.
